Creator’s Creation
“The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in… Continue reading Creator’s Creation
Perfection’s Paradox
There are several competing theories of physics as it pertains to understanding the universe, classical theory which is what you might recall from school. It is based on measurements and breaks the fundamental atom particle down with neutrons and protons in a nucleus and orbiting electrons. The atomic age brought about quantum mechanics which suggested… Continue reading Perfection’s Paradox
Covid Censorship
The United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana recently blocked numerous federal agencies and the White House from collaborating with social-media companies and third-party groups to censor speech. The judge noted that this is “the most massive attack against free speech in United States’ history,” that the Biden administration has “blatantly ignored… Continue reading Covid Censorship
Another Brick in the Wall
This is a metaphor for something made up of smaller pieces. My grandson is just now with his family at Lego world as he enjoys building with Legos, small pieces that fit together to form different objects. Scientists refer to each successive discovery as another piece of our collective wall of scientific knowledge. I wonder… Continue reading Another Brick in the Wall
Nature’s Force and Man’s
There are occasions when natures forces are set in particular position so as to cause unusual events and phenomenon. These are factually observed, but questionable as to their origin. For example, sometimes the clouds will be dark foreboding storms and rain, but just at sunrise the sunshine can illuminate underneath this vast layer of cloud… Continue reading Nature’s Force and Man’s
Israelis Develop Electricity Source From Seaweed
It is difficult to read anything connected to the ocean without hearing speculation that climate change, caused by human activity, is destroying the world. With determination I found some actual scientific and technological development conducted by Israelis. Below is an excerpt. “In addition, the seaweed can also provide currents in the dark thanks to a… Continue reading Israelis Develop Electricity Source From Seaweed
Wild Grapes
I discovered a huge amount of wild grapes on our property. I looked on the internet and found jelly and jam recipes for wild grapes. We have had a serious drought this year in the spring and again in late summer continuing into the fall. I have seen on various wine tasting and wine making… Continue reading Wild Grapes
Climate Change
Recently, a publication called the "World Climate Declaration" was published that stated that there is no climate emergency and that climate science has degenerated into a discussion based on beliefs, not on sound self-critical science. The document was signed by over 1,100 scientists and professionals from around the world led by Norwegian physics Nobel Prize… Continue reading Climate Change
Is Nature Good?
A sizable group of people worship (even if they don’t acknowledge what they do is worship) nature for it’s amazing complexity, interrelated design, beauty and wonder. The ancients worshiped the sun, moon and stars creating astrology. Many existentialists, agnostics, pagans, humanists and secularists look to nature for inspiration, as their creator, Evolution. But is nature… Continue reading Is Nature Good?
Green Power
A dirty little secret of Green power is that coal and gas are full-time sources while wind and solar are not. Wind and solar produce little or no energy about 70 percent of the time. This means that to replace 1,000 MW of coal, it will take 3,500 MW of wind turbines’ “nameplate capacity,” or… Continue reading Green Power
Climate Change
The wisemen of our age have declared their finding, “Climate is variable.” From this discovery politicians and clergyman are uniting around an assumption, mankind caused this most recent climate change and mankind must fix it. Today, I watched a “Religious round table” discussing climate change, citing harmful weather events, record temperatures and regional averages. The… Continue reading Climate Change
First Attack
I was in the fifth grade when I was attacked for expressing “conservative” views. I was bussed from the neighborhood in which I lived to a predominantly black area of town. I had a black teacher, though her ethnicity made no difference to me, nor the racial makeup of my class. I was brought up… Continue reading First Attack
The World’s Owner
“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.”(Psalms 24:1-2) This is mere poetry to modern man, but it speaks truth in our inner being. We are bombarded with facts, opinions, observations, circumstances and… Continue reading The World’s Owner
Magazine Issue 4
Believer’s Testimony We were on vacation and I mentioned "The Lord" to an acquaintance in conversation, he stopped and acknowledged his mutual faith. I added, "The Lord’s name is Yeshua", just so there was no misunderstanding. The next day I had an opportunity to ask him about his faith. One of the things we talked… Continue reading Magazine Issue 4
Activity in Ten Dimensions
Scientists postulate ten conceivable dimensions: 1) width, 2) length, 3) depth, 4) time, 5) another world somewhat different from our own, 6) a matrix of other worlds each different in relationship to that of our own, 7) a matrix of worlds incomparably different from our own from the beginning, 8) a matrix of different worlds… Continue reading Activity in Ten Dimensions
Future Automotive Design
The release of the newest automobile had been kept secret, just like a weapons development project, top secret. Though there was an industry of speculation, it was not fed by hints, leaks or anything, but imagination and history. The transformation of automobile design started with the abandonment of historical evolutionary processes, where each new release… Continue reading Future Automotive Design
Proof of Claim
The majority of the food we eat has seeds in it. These seeds when planted or merely dropped on fertile soil would grow into another plant and eventually produce more food. This relationship between beings and plants on this planet is so remarkable as to indicate intelligent design. This premise with far more and better… Continue reading Proof of Claim
A Theory For Atheists
If you are a devoted atheist you will need some "Science" to support anything you believe, or at least a theory that has not been fully discredited. This is the status of science today, as so much of what is called fact can not be established through the scientific method here and now. Therefore, theories… Continue reading A Theory For Atheists
Asian Blight
In 1986 Varroa mites were introduced into the American bee population. These mites have destructive results in bee hives. The American population of bees has declined as much as fifty percent and continue to experience stress and decline from these blood sucking parasites. The mites came from Asia, where Asian bees are able to defend… Continue reading Asian Blight
Fossil Fuel Fraud
How many trillions of barrels, each containing fifty-five gallons of crude oil, have been pumped out of the earth? This is the problem that the Democrat, Socialist, Liberal and Humanist are now complaining about and basing their predictions of future destruction upon. Who put these trillions of gallons of oil in the earth? Why was… Continue reading Fossil Fuel Fraud
Birth Order
There is a theory that common personality preferences exist among people based on whether they were first born, last born, only child, or middle child. The general public believes this theory is true. My wife is a great advocate of this theory and uses it to explain conflicts and preferences she observes in our children… Continue reading Birth Order
Correcting the Record
Imagine if your child came home from school and told you that the best thing to do when you get cut is to put cow dunk on it and bleed a lot if you have a fever. This is where we are in public education today. All but the very oldest people alive today were… Continue reading Correcting the Record
More Science Fiction
I have always enjoyed a good science fiction story, but to be good it must have a device to make it plausible. C.S. Lewis wrote a science fiction trilogy with the first book, "Out of the Silent Planet", published in 1938. It employed an anti-gravity coating on a space ship that enabled space travel to… Continue reading More Science Fiction
Faulty Humans
We watched a movie entitled "The Experimenter", based on a true story of social behavioral experiments conducted in 1961, by psychiatrist Dr. Stanley Milgram. The movie was OK, if you are interested in mind games or psychology, but I found an aspect in the background that was startling. Dr. Milgram devised a test to see… Continue reading Faulty Humans
